If he were in earlier, the level of preparedness would be better in terms of knowing the offense and personnel. He never was good. This reverence for him by McDermott and Beane just shows their willingness to scrape the bottom of the barrel. McDermott was actually talking about how Allen will learn watching Anderson conduct a walkthrough. Then he goes out and throws 3 Ints and fumbles against the Colts. Send him packing please and stop with this mentor nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's squarely on Beane and McDermott. There were zero good to decent options remaining because of their QB incompetence in the off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Someone had too say someting at OBD. The QB situation is a league wide joke. Maybe Pegula sent out the memo for somene too take ownership publicly for this situation. But the Anderson comments makes one wonder if Beane has any clue what too look for when scraping underneath the dumpster. Didn't Anderson turn down beane in pre season? Something here smells like BS.

My understanding was that Beane said that, not Brandon. Quote Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane, unlike McDermott, admitted to the Buffalo News this week that he made mistakes in regard to the quarterback position. Beane traded away AJ McCarron to the Oakland Raiders after Peterman beat him out for the starting job. Beane then waited until October to sign another veteran option until in Anderson. The GM called it like he saw it, and he didn’t even need to watch the tape to make his analysis. “In hindsight, I made a mistake. I should have got Derek here as quick as possible, once we let AJ go,” Beane said. Edited November 2, 2018 by rodneykm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the packers last year when favre went down. How did they not know Hundley was terrible? So many other examples. The eagles with Foles are such an anomaly. The problem is that Bills fans see Foles -- a complete anomaly -- or Brady, or Warner, and don't understand why they don't get their anomaly. They would literally keep blowing up the team over and over and over until they found that one exception. And often times they sound a lot like Veruca Salt. "Daddy! I want an oompa loompa! I want an oompa loompa NOW!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Truth be told, as much fun as it is to bash the PeterMAN, is he really that much worse than Allen or Anderson? I think quibbling over the timing of Anderson's signing is like shifting furniture in a burning building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far greater physical limitations with historically bad turnover ratio combined with horrid decision making and panic under pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryPinC Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 First time GM, first time head coach. They're going to make mistakes. Kudos to Beane for stepping up. Now we need McDermott to admit he trusted his process over talent too much with Peterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 "Measure twice, cut once" Both the HC and GM seem inclined to quick, decisive action. That's typically a good thing, but can also lead to some spectacular misses. I hope this debacle teaches them to be a bit more flexible and reflective in coaching approach and building a roster. If not, they're just another set of Bobbsey Twins passing through on their way to somewhere else... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Yeah - they really don't give you tons of flexibility with 53. 45 on game days and 3 specialists. Considering the frequency of injuries in the NFL you'd think they would want more active. But that would lower minimum contracts - or adjust the owners revenue split. 5 minutes ago, joesixpack said: Yes, and you know he is. Hater. Can't wait to watch him though...

Like QB play is night and day when it's Allen vs. Anderson/Peterman? I definitely HATE when the Bills don't move the ball or score points, so that much is true. The HOPE is that Allen develops, but at this point, I don't see much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, you're likely a troll and just saying that to be at some level obnoxious. Allen is one of the most physically gifted QB's in the league, but that has not translated to the field in any appreciable, sustainable way. The QB play is marginally better when he's in there. I'm simply stating that signing Anderson in the preseason would not have made a significant difference and it's way down the list of our problems on offense. I'll be cheering for the PeterMAN on Sunday because I'm a Bills fan. I expect any Bills fan will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
